The purpose of this camp is to provide detailed skill instruction in all aspects of offensive and defensive baseball. All players will be evaluated in a PRO STYLE WORKOUT and will have an opportunity to participate in modified game situations. We hope to help everyone get the most out of their baseball ability.
The Staff
The Clinics will be directed by Richmond's head coach Mark McQueen. McQueen, a Richmond Baseball assistant coach from 1989-2000, enters his second season at the helm of the Spiders program. Coach McQueen along with former head coach Ron Atkins helped to lead the Spiders to an overall mark of 389-248 in his 12 seasons at Richmond. In those 12 seasons McQueen helped take the Spiders to the Colonial Athletic Association title game seven times, won the Conference Championship twice and earned four NCAA Tournament berths. In all, a total of 23 pitchers under McQueen's direction have been selected by Major League teams, including 15 during his 12 seasons at Richmond.
He will be joined in the clinics by his assistant coaches: Ryan Wheeler (Penn State University), Chad Oxendine (Coastal Carolina), and Joe Frostick (North Carolina). Additional coaches will be in attendance and will be comprised of high school coaches, college coaches and professional scouts.
